How Alyve Helps You Unlock Greater Value from Your Technology Investments
In today's digital world, businesses are making massive investments in technology to stay competitive. But despite these efforts, many Australian organisations are finding it difficult to get real value from their technology investments. According to a KPMG study, 38% of Australian businesses face challenges in realising the full potential of their tech spend, and only 26.7% of technology leaders say they’re effectively using technology to drive down costs.
So, why is it so tough to make these investments pay off? And more importantly, what can you do about it? At Alyve, we believe the key lies in connecting human needs to technology outcomes. It’s all about creating a clear, aligned strategy that brings together your people, your business goals, and the technology you’ve invested in.
The Biggest Roadblocks to Getting More from Your Tech Investments
Misalignment with Business Strategy: Too often, technology decisions are made without thinking about how they fit into the bigger picture. This can lead to tech investments that don’t align with your business goals, making it harder to see a return on investment (ROI) and limiting the impact those tools can have.Resistance to Change: Let’s face it—change is hard. Cultural resistance within an organisation can be one of the biggest barriers to adopting new technologies. Employees may feel unsure about new systems, or even worry that automation might replace them. This hesitation slows down implementation, cuts into efficiency, and ultimately blocks you from achieving the full benefits of your investment.
Lack of Training and Support: Even the best technology won’t deliver results without proper training. When staff aren’t fully trained or supported, they can’t effectively use new tools, which means your business misses out on opportunities for greater productivity, better service, and more innovation.
How Alyve Helps You Overcome These Challenges
At Alyve, we’ve developed a range of strategies to help businesses tackle these issues head-on and unlock more value from their technology. Here are five initiatives we’ve successfully implemented with clients to help them make the most of their tech investments:
An Iterative Operating Model Aligned with Business Goals: We work with businesses to create an operating model that evolves with their goals, ensuring that technology investments always drive the right outcomes. By underpinning this model with a clear benefits framework, we help businesses continuously improve and track their progress.
Streamlined Vendor Management for Better ROI: Managing multiple vendors can be a headache. We help streamline this process by consolidating vendor relationships and automating management systems. This makes vendor management more efficient and ensures that each vendor is aligned with your business strategy.
Managing and Reducing Technical Debt: Technical debt can pile up quickly, but it doesn’t have to. We help businesses proactively manage and reduce technical debt, ensure long-term sustainability, and keep their technology stack up-to-date and efficient.
Utilising AI and RPA to Boost Efficiency: AI and robotic process automation (RPA) can significantly reduce workforce duplication and improve efficiency. However, many businesses struggle to leverage these technologies fully. At Alyve, we provide the training, support, and strategic planning needed to unlock the full potential of AI and RPA.
Leasing Technology Equipment to Improve Efficiency and Sustainability: Leasing tech equipment can be a smart move for businesses looking to stay agile and up-to-date. This approach not only improves employee productivity by giving them access to the latest tools but also reduces capital expenditure and promotes sustainability through responsible recycling and refurbishment.
